UCAM-550AFast Data Logger

UCAM-550A

Synchronous sampling at 50 Hz of all channels

UCAM-550A is a fast data logger that repeatedly measures a maximum of 1000 channels at an interval of 0.02 s. Because this is capable of high-speed synchronous measurement, this unit measures a wide range of phenomena, from static to dynamic phenomena. The following 5 types of measuring units are provided. ●Strain Unit USS-51B (Potentiometer-type sensor

also supported)●Voltage Unit USV-51B●Thermocouple Unit UST-51B●Strain/Voltage/Thermocouple Unit USM-51B,

USM-52BThey support strain gages, strain-gage transducers, voltage output sensors, potentiometer-type sensors, and thermocouples, measure and collect strain and stress, load, pressure, and displacement, as well as voltage and temperature. Measuring channels is for 1 unit a maximum of 50 channels, and with 20 units cascaded, a maximum of 1000 channels, and this is suited from small-scale to large-scale measurement.

●Synchronous* sampling of all channels●Synchronous measurement of 1000 channels at

max. 50/s●Synchronous measurement of up to 20 units

possible using a LAN cable●Control using Dynamic Data Acquisition Software

DCS-100A●5 types of measuring units available* Except temperature measurement using USM-51B or USM-52B

PC is not included.

To Ensure Safe UsageDCS-100A of a standard accessory can be measured up to 300 channels. Measurement up to 1000 channels requires an optional software DCS-106A. See page 4-6.

*Requires UCAM-550A firmware version 03.00 or latter.

Scanning speed

The measurement channel is switched one byone and measured.

→ There is a di erence at the measurement time of each measurement channel, therefore a dynamic measurement is nonconformity.

All channels are synchronously measured(No scanning)

→ All channels are synchronously sampled and the data is updated every constant intervals. Therefore, a dynamic measurement is possible.
